I needed Pet Talk this weekend and don't have access to a computer!!!! When I got home from work on Friday, Duncan was very sick!! Diarrhea in his crate, I gave him a little burger and rice and he threw it up almost immediately!!! I took him for a walk and he was his usual joyful self but straining to go # 2 about 15 times in 20 minutes!! I was a nervous wreck but I had to go to my second job!! I called someone to come over and watch him and Jack (since the roommate was "out") and I didn't know if she had let them in the basement that morning or the garage and they had found something poisonous.....I just didn't know! Duncan had diarrhea all weekend and threw up 2 more times on Saturday. He's only eaten ~1/2 of his regular amount of food and I've ben giving it to him in very small doses to be sure it goes and stays down. Yesterday and today he seems much better although a bit more sluggish than usual but the diarrhea has abated quite a bit.
Anyway, the only thing I can think of that may have made him sick would be butter! The other day, I caught him eating Land O'Lakes sweet cream whipped butter right out of the container that he pulled off the counter. But I didn't think it would make him that sick!!
If he is still having trouble tonight, he's going to the vet. He seems to have a very sensitive stomach. I hate to see him suffering....
Any home remedies for an upset stomach? Does anyone know why/how butter is bad for a pup?
